CDN
Overview
1.Overview
Alibaba Cloud Content Delivery Network (CDN) retrieves resources from origin servers and
caches the resources on CDN nodes deployed across the world. When a client sends a request,
the system does not need to send the request to the origin server. Instead, the system
automatically retrieves the requested resource cached on the CDN node that is closest to the
client and returns the resource to the client. This topic describes how content delivery is
accelerated in accelerated regions outside mainland China.
Benefits
Alibaba Cloud CDN provides more than 2,800 nodes deployed across the world. More than 500
nodes are deployed across 70 countries and regions outside mainland China, including China
(Hong Kong), China (Macao), and China (Taiwan). Alibaba Cloud CDN supports a total bandwidth
capacity of 130 Tbit/s and 10 GE network interface controllers (NICs). Each CDN node provides 40
TB to 1.5 PB of data storage, and a bandwidth capacity of 40 Gbit/s to 200 Gbit/s. Alibaba Cloud
CDN offers the following benefits:
Stability and high speed

Stable performance and high efficiency: a cache hit ratio of higher than 95%, a smooth video
streaming rate of higher than 95%, and a response time of milliseconds.
Network-wide monitoring and intelligent service systems: 24/7 network-wide and intelligent
monitoring and scheduling based on service quality.
Cost-effectiveness
You can elastically scale resources and pay for the resources based on the actual usage.
Content delivery can be accelerated across Internet service providers (ISPs) and regions.
Alibaba Cloud CDN supports the pay-by-data-transfer and pay-by-bandwidth metering
methods. Both metering methods charge fees on a pay-as-you-go basis. You can select a
metering method based on your business requirements.
Alibaba Cloud CDN automatically responds to traffic spikes of accelerated domain names and
makes adjustments to reduce workloads on origin servers.
Ease of use
Alibaba Cloud CDN provides an easy-to-use console. In the CDN console, you can customize
configurations of domain names. For example, you can add, delete, modify, and query domain
names. In addition, Alibaba Cloud CDN also allows you to customize hotlink protection rules,
cache policies, and HTTP response headers.
Alibaba Cloud CDN provides a wide array of API operations that enable you to use the features
of Alibaba Cloud CDN. For example, you can call API operations to activate Alibaba Cloud CDN,
refresh content, query monitoring data, and download and deliver log data.
High efficiency and intelligence
Alibaba Cloud CDN provides standard configurations that can be quickly and automatically
applied.
The Alibaba Cloud CDN console can quickly respond to user requests to ensure a smooth user
experience. Compared with other CDN services, Alibaba Cloud CDN does not require manual
intervention, which minimizes the response time.

4. Click Next.
Step 3: Configure a CNAME record

CDN
After you add a domain name to be accelerated, Alibaba Cloud previews the domain name. After
the domain name passes the preview, Alibaba Cloud CDN assigns a Canonical Name (CNAME)
address to the domain name. To enable CDN acceleration, you must add a CNAME record to map
the accelerated domain name to the CNAME address. In this way, requests sent to the
accelerated domain can be redirected to the CDN nodes that are nearest to the clients that
make the requests. This topic describes how to add a CNAME record for your accelerated domain
in Alibaba Cloud Domain Name System (DNS) (previously known as HiChina).
1. Obtain the CNAME address of the accelerated domain.

i. In the left-side navigation pane, click Domain Names.
ii. On the Domain Names page, copy the CNAME address of the accelerated domain.
2. Add a CNAME record.
i. Log on to the Alibaba Cloud DNS console.
ii. On the Manage DNS page, click the Domains tab, select the target domain, and then
click Configure in the Actions column.
iii. Click Add Record and add a CNAME record.
iv. Click OK.
The CNAME record is added. After you add the CNAME record, CDN acceleration
immediately starts. A newly added CNAME record takes effect immediately. A modified
CNAME record takes effect within 72 hours.
3. Check whether the CNAME record is effective.

i. Open the Command Prompt in Windows.
ii. Enter ping or dig and the accelerated domain name.
If the output includes *.*kunlun*.com , both the CNAME record and CDN acceleration
have taken effect.
3.2. Make API calls to accelerate content

delivery outside mainland China
This topic describes how to call the AddCdnDomain operation to add a domain to accelerate its
content delivery when the accelerated region is set to global or global (excluding mainland
China).
Prerequisites
Before you call this operation, complete the following steps or read the following topics.
Register an Alibaba Cloud account

Complete real-name verification

Note
Bandwidth usage = Data usage (GB)/(Peak bandwidth (Mbit/s) × 10.54). If the
bandwidth is 1 Mbit/s and the daily bandwidth usage is 100%, the data usage is 10.54
GB.
Only the outbound data from CDN nodes is billed.
Alibaba Cloud CDN retains log data of the last three months. If you have any question
about the logs or bills, submit an application to check the accounting details with
Alibaba Cloud before the log data expires. Log data older than three months is
released and cannot be restored.
Considerations

CDN
Billing rules
The amount of data that is actually charged is higher than the amount of data recorded in logs.
The amount of data recorded in CDN logs equals the amount of data captured at the application
layer. However, an extra amount of data is consumed to transmit the additional bytes inserted
to TCP/IP packet headers and to retransmit TCP packets. Therefore, the actual amount of data
is higher than the amount of data captured at the application layer. For more information, see
Why is the actual billed network traffic different from the network traffic reported by the logging
feature?
4.2. Pay by traffic

Alibaba Cloud Content Delivery Network (CDN) supports the pay by traffic billing method. This
billing method calculates fees based on the amount of outbound traffic from CDN nodes. Use
Alibaba Cloud CDN based on your actual workload requirements.
Alibaba Cloud CDN provides resource plans

Alibaba Cloud CDN provides resource plans. For more information, see CDN Resource Plan.
Subscription
Alibaba Cloud CDN provides cost-effective resource plans to pay for outbound traffic. For more
information about resource plans, see CDN pricing
Pay-as-you-go
The pay-as-you-go billing method has the following rules:
Billing item: traffic

Billing method: pay-as-you-go.
Billing rule: You are billed based on the amount of generated network traffic in each region
(inside and outside mainland China). Billing is based on different pricing tiers. The amount that
exceeds the current pricing tier is billed based on the next pricing tier. The calculation cycle is
one calendar month.
Billing cycle: Billed on an hourly basis and the fees are deducted in real time.
Conversion Formula: 1 GB = 1,024 MB.
Release schedule of bills: A bill is issued at the end of the current billing cycle. The bill is
typically issued within three hours after the end of the current billing cycle, which is subject to
the actual system billing time. The amount due is then automatically deducted from your
account balance.
For more information about pay by traffic, see CDN pricing.
Note The upper bandwidth limit of pay by traffic is set to 10 Gbit/s by default. If the
actual peak bandwidth of your workloads is higher than 10 Gbit/s, choose the pay by
bandwidth billing method, or submit a ticket.
Considerations

CDN
Billing rules
The amount of data that is actually charged is higher than the amount of data recorded in logs.
The amount of data recorded in CDN logs equals the amount of data captured at the application
layer. However, an extra amount of data is consumed to transmit the additional bytes inserted
to TCP/IP packet headers and to retransmit TCP packets. Therefore, the actual amount of data
is higher than the amount of data captured at the application layer. For more information, see
Differences between billed data transfer and data transfer recorded in logs .
4.3. Pay by bandwidth

Alibaba Cloud Content Delivery Network (CDN) supports the pay by bandwidth billing method.
This topic provides details of the pay by bandwidth billing method.
Pay-as-you-go
The pay-as-you-go billing method has the following rules:
Billing item: peak bandwidth

Billing method: pay-as-you-go.
Billing rule: You are billed based on the peak bandwidth in each region. Billing is based on
different tiers.
Billing cycle: Billed on a daily basis and the fees are deducted in real time. The bill of the
current day is issued and the fees are deducted after 00:00 the following day. The actual time
when the bill is issued is determined by the system.
Release schedule of bills: A bill is issued at the end of the current billing cycle (calendar days).
The bill is typically issued within three hours after the end of the current billing cycle, which is
subject to the actual system billing time. The amount due is then automatically deducted from
your account balance. Note that bills of June 17 will be issued after 00:00 June 18.
For more information about pay by bandwidth, see CDN pricing.
Note The pay by peak bandwidth billing method indicates that you are billed based on
the maximum bandwidth (Mbit/s) reached by CDN nodes in each region (inside and outside
mainland China) on a daily basis.
4.4. Billing of value-added services

Alibaba Cloud Content Delivery Network (CDN) provides a wide array of value-added services.
This topic describes the billing details of value-added services.
Static HTTPS requests

After you enable HTTPS, static HTTPS requests incur fees. For more information about the
pricing, see CDN pricing.
DCDN
DCDN is now an independent Alibaba Cloud service. If you set the business type to DCDN in the
Alibaba Cloud CDN console when you added an accelerated domain name, you can go to the
DCDN console to view and manage the domain name. Domain names that are accelerated by
DCDN and retained in the CDN console are billed based on the pricing of the DCDN service. If you
have purchased CDN or DCDN resource plans, CDN and DCDN can share resource plans of
outbound traffic or static HTTPS requests.

4.5. Overdue payments

This topic describes the reasons that may cause Alibaba Cloud Content Delivery Network (CDN)
service suspension and how to configure low balance alerts.
Service suspension Overdue payments Low balance alerts CDN service
Service suspension
When your CDN payment is overdue, the system will send notifications to you through SMS
messages or emails.
If you settle the payment within 24 hours after the payment becomes overdue, your CDN
service will not be suspended.
If you do not settle the payment within 24 hours after the payment becomes overdue, your
CDN service will be suspended. The cache resources that you are using will be released.
However, your CDN configuration information will be retained for 12 months.
Low balance alerts

How a low balance alert is generated depends on the billing method.
Pay by traffic: The system determines whether you have a sufficient balance in your account
to pay for the next three billing cycles based on the average payable amount during the last
seven hours. If you do not have a sufficient balance, the system will send an SMS message or
email to you as a reminder.
Pay by bandwidth: The system determines whether you have a sufficient balance in your
account to pay for the next billing cycle (day) based on the payable amount during the most
recent billing cycle (day). If you do not have a sufficient balance, the system will send an SMS
message or email to you as a reminder.
